How can the average educator who teaches online, without
experience in evaluating emerging technologies, build on what is
successful and modify what is not?
Written for educators who feel ill-prepared when required to
evaluate e-learning initiatives, Evaluating e-Learning offers
step-by-step guidance for conducting an evaluation plan of
e-learning technologies. It builds on and adapts familiar research
methodology to offer a robust and accessible approach to
effectively evaluate a range of innovative initiatives, including
those covered in other books in the connecting with e-learning
series.
This useful guide offers a multi-level approach that allows both
beginners and experienced professionals to follow the level of text
that suits their current needs. Practical applications discussed
include:
- how to develop broad evaluation questions
- how to use an evaluation framework
- how to determine the sources of data to be used
- how to develop an evaluation matrix
- how to collect, analyze and interpret the data.
Readers will find this jargon-free guide is a must-have resource
that provides the proper tools for evaluating their own e-learning
practices with ease.

A signature feature of living organisms is their ability to carry
out purposeful actions by taking stock of the world around them. To
that end, cells have an arsenal of signaling molecules linked
together in signaling pathways, which switch between inactive and
active conformations. The Molecular Switch articulates a
biophysical perspective on signaling, showing how allostery-a
powerful explanation of how molecules function across all
biological domains-can be reformulated using equilibrium
statistical mechanics, applied to diverse biological systems
exhibiting switching behaviors, and successfully unify seemingly
unrelated phenomena. Rob Phillips weaves together allostery and
statistical mechanics via a series of biological vignettes, each of
which showcases an important biological question and accompanying
physical analysis. Beginning with the study of ligand-gated ion
channels and their role in problems ranging from muscle action to
vision, Phillips then undertakes increasingly sophisticated case
studies, from bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing to hemoglobin
and its role in mammalian physiology. He looks at G-protein coupled
receptors as well as the role of allosteric molecules in gene
regulation. Phillips concludes by surveying problems in biological
fidelity and offering a speculative chapter on the relationship
between allostery and biological Maxwell demons. Appropriate for
graduate students and researchers in biophysics, physics,
engineering, biology, and neuroscience, The Molecular Switch
presents a unified, quantitative model for describing biological
signaling phenomena.
Groundbreaking and comprizing articles by expert contributors, this
volume provides a comprehensive treatment of VLFSs and their
relationship with the sea, marine habitats, the pollution of costal
waters and tidal and natural current flow. It looks in-depth at:
VLFS and the colonization of ocean space with their appearance in
the waters off developed coastal cities wave properties, which is
essential for estimating the loading on the VLFS as well as for
modelling structure-fluid interactions hydroelastic and structural
analysis of VLFS at an overall level and the cell level the
analysis and design of breakwaters simulation models to understand
the actual flow of water through the VLFS and to determine the
drift forces for the mooring systems anti-corrosion and maintenance
systems new research and developments, with emphasis on the
Mega-Float, a 1 km long floating test runway. Well-illustrated with
photographs, drawings, equations for mathematical modelling and
analysis and extensively referenced, Very Large Floating Structures
is ideal for professionals, academics and students of civil and
structural engineering.
A Top 25 CHOICE 2016 Title, and recipient of the CHOICE Outstanding
Academic Title (OAT) Award. How much energy is released in ATP
hydrolysis? How many mRNAs are in a cell? How genetically similar
are two random people? What is faster, transcription or
translation? Cell Biology by the Numbers explores these
questions-and dozens of others-providing a richly illustrated and
handy reference for students and researchers in molecular and cell
biology, chemistry, and biophysics. The book features
question-driven vignettes and "back of the envelope" calculations
that investigate some of the key numbers in cell biology. Readers
will learn about the sizes, concentrations, rates, energies, and
other numbers that describe and drive the living world.
A central tenet of materials analysis is the structure-property paradigm, which proposes a direct connection between the geometric structures within a material and its properties. The increasing power of high-speed computation has had a major impact on theoretical materials science and has permitted the systematic examination of this connection between structure and properties. In this textbook, Rob Phillips examines various methods for studying crystals, defects, and microstructures, techniques that have made such computations possible. He also presents recent efforts to treat problems involving either multiple spatial or temporal scales simultaneously. Detailed case studies illustrate general principles as well as their applications to current research problems.

This series of textbooks is aimed at teacher training students and
comprises two concerns: the practice of teaching and how to use
theory and research findings to improve that practice, and how to
meet the TTA standards whilst placing them in a wider context.;This
comprehensive textbook is an accessible guide to all those who are
new to the profession of teaching history. Covering all aspects of
the job, from planning through to teaching and assessment, Rob
Phillips provides constructive, practical advice to help subject
teachers become more effective in their work.
Physical Biology of the Cell is a textbook for a first course in
physical biology or biophysics for undergraduate or graduate
students. It maps the huge and complex landscape of cell and
molecular biology from the distinct perspective of physical
biology. As a key organizing principle, the proximity of topics is
based on the physical concepts that unite a given set of biological
phenomena. Herein lies the central premise: that the appropriate
application of a few fundamental physical models can serve as the
foundation of whole bodies of quantitative biological intuition,
useful across a wide range of biological problems. The Second
Edition features full-color illustrations throughout, two new
chapters, a significantly expanded set of end-of-chapter problems,
and is available in a variety of e-book formats.
